My fiddle leaf fig finally stopped dropping leaves after I moved it away from the heating vent and stopped watering on a schedule. Turns out I was drowning it—I now just stick my finger in the soil and only water when it's actually dry a few inches down. It's been stable for three months now, which feels like a win given how finicky these are supposed to be. If yours is struggling, that's usually the culprit.
